Interview with Ben and Katrina

JM: Did they have names? If so, what were they?
Ben: It was H1, H2, H3, H4.
Katrina: Not just 1,2,3,4

JM: Which types of inmates were housed in the different blocks?
Ben: Bascially, the felons were in H1 and the others were mixed around in the other pods.
Katrina: One was for trustees, one was for misdemeanors and the others were for felons.

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Ben: The worst was that for the first two months of my time we were on lockdown for 18 hours a day. They said it was because the doors kept opening. The nicest was I was on the clean up crew so I got to go outside for a half hour after lights out.
Katrina: It was very sanitary. The trustees were mostly on cleaning crews so we kept everything pretty neat.
